Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for Functional test of a hydraulic unit comprising several hydraulic functional units, in particular of an aggregate for converting mechanical into hydraulic energy, for example a pump for incompressible media, according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • a method for Functional test of a hydraulic unit comprising several hydraulic functional units, in particular of an aggregate for converting mechanical into hydraulic energy, for example a pump for incompressible media, according to the preamble of the claim 1.
  • Such a method is known from document WO-A-90 02 066.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore a Method for functional testing of hydraulic units comprising several hydraulic functional units to propose, which makes it possible as far as possible deliver dry aggregates, especially pumps, i.e. the above To avoid disadvantages.
  • Another task is to be as inexpensive as possible Propose functional testing procedures, which at the same time enables possible Localize production defects.
  • these tasks are characterized by Part of claim 1 specified measure solved. So it is suggested one out of several hydraulic functional units completely assembled unit to check, and instead of the incompressible hydraulic medium, i.e. of the intended equipment of the unit, which is a pump, a motor or can also be a turbine etc. for the purpose of testing to use a compressible medium.
  • the incompressible hydraulic medium i.e. of the intended equipment of the unit, which is a pump, a motor or can also be a turbine etc.
  • air will be used, for example oil-free Compressed air, but also gases such as nitrogen and helium or steam is also conceivable.
  • the method for functional testing according to the invention hydraulic units is based on the idea that a Idle test of the unit is sufficient to ensure tightness and correct interaction of all functional units of the unit to be able to check. I.e. Functional units in the actual operation does not work, already fall during the functional test using the compressible medium on. The correctness of this idea has been shown in the Practice shown.
  • the unit to be tested to be initially charged with a certain initial pressure.
  • this serves to define a To produce the initial state, for example seals to press against their sealing seat, and on the other hand one carry out the first leak test.
  • the suitable one Initial pressure depends, for example, on the geometry of the Working rooms of the unit to be tested from and is adjust accordingly.
  • the proposed test method is particularly suitable for piston pumps that advance the piston or pistons have downstream check valves.
  • the function of the check valves and their tightness, as well as an exact piston stroke be determined. This can also be done through comparisons with experimentally determined values happen.
  • Is the compressible medium according to claim 9 a small Volume fraction of an incompressible medium added, for example the hydraulic fluid provided in Form of mist (droplets) or vapor, so one can Lubrication of the unit for the time of the functional test can be achieved. But it is also possible to choose one dispense with such lubrication when reassembling sufficient lubricant for the unit was introduced and the functional test only one short runtime of the unit required. A Non-destructive functional testing can also be carried out in this way and way be guaranteed.
  • the aggregate 1 shown in the figure consists of essentially from pump 2, pressure accumulators 3.4 and Chokes 5.6.
  • the pump 2 has two hydraulically separated ones Circles with a piston 7,8 each, which are connected by an eccentric be driven on. This is in the picture shown schematically.
  • Each of the pistons 7,8 limits a work space 10.11 and changed by its from Eccentric movement caused the volume of the work rooms 10.11.
  • Each opens into the working chambers 10, 11 Suction valve 12, 13 and a pressure valve 14, 15.
  • This Valves are designed as check valves with a certain Preload trained.
  • valves 12 to 15 their sealing and the seals between the piston 7,8 and the working space 10,11 is here waived.
  • the unit 1 On the input side with a Compressed air source 20 via the pneumatic lines 21 and 22 connected. Between the compressed air source 20 and the Lines 21, 22 each have a 2/2-way valve 23, 24, which is electromagnetically actuated and in unactuated The connection is blocked. Still are Pressure sensors 25,26 on the lines 21,22 that the applied pressure in an electrical voltage signal convert. Located at the outputs 18, 19 of the unit 1 pressure sensors 27, 28 on pneumatic lines 29, 30. The lines 29,30 are each in an unactuated State of closed 2/2-way valve 31, 32 with Pressure relief devices 33,34 connected. The pressure sensors 25,26,27,28 and the valves 23,24,31,32 are with one Control and evaluation unit 35 connected.
  • the unpressurized lines 21, 22 are connected to the inputs 16, 17 and the lines 29, 30 to the outputs 18, 19 of the unit 1.
  • the predetermined initial pressure p 0 is set in lines 21 and 22, respectively.
  • the valves 23 and 24 are opened by the control unit 35 depending on the signals from the pressure sensors 25 and 26, respectively.
  • the valves 23 and 24 are closed, and the pressure value p (t 1 ) measured at the time at the pressure sensors 27 and 28 is registered. If this value is within a predetermined error range, to p around the desired value (t 1), the first criterion is met. In any is too high bias the valves 12 to 15 p (t 1) to lower than p (t 1) in case of leakage to the outside is p (t 1) is much lower than p soll (t 1). If one of the pressure valves 18, 19 has a too low preload, P (t 1 ) is too high.
  • pump 2 After registering the measured values at time t 1 , pump 2 is started.
  • the pump is operated at a reduced output, which prevents resonance vibrations of the incompressible medium.
  • the ratio V p (t 1 ): p (t 2 ) can also be used. From this ratio, the correct filling of the working spaces 10, 11, ie the exact stroke of the pistons, can also be inferred.
  • the pump can be switched off, and pressure can be released from the unit 1 via the valves 31, 32.
  • the control and evaluation unit 35 now signals whether the unit 1 is functional or whether, and if so, which fault has been determined. This information can be used to search specifically for the error and, if necessary, to rectify the error.
  • Blowing device 36 can serve from a container 37 Small amount of hydraulic medium in the unit 1 blowing in compressed air at the start of the process, and to lubricate the unit 1 with it.
